Once you have a JIT JS implementation, node and npm will follow. And before you know it, tools will be written that pull in a ton of npm dependencies you never wanted many of which are inherently unsafe ans some of which are all but guaranteed to be malicious.

At leas Arexx doesn't pull down half the internet on to your machine to show pretty colours in the console.

At least interpreted and sandboxed you can keep JS in check on your system. Once you start compiling it into native code that protection is quickly eroded. Ans let's face it, Amiga like OS have no other layers of protection beyond obscurity.
